Is your account name create than 20 characters?

I had the same problem. There was a problem and I re-ran AutoSPInstaller and i ran into this error.

Open the SharePoint Shell and run Get-SPManagedAccount. Make sure that in your config-file the username is exactly as stated there. In my case i had to remove ".local" from the domain name.

For the implementation it would probably be better to strip off the domain name and use get-spmanagedaccount -Identity "username" instead of Where-Object {$_.UserName -eq $($spservice.username)}

hello,

i had same issue.

the solution is simple: you must remove the extension from your domain example: mydomain.net change it to mydomain or : mydomain.net in capitals MYDOMAINENET
